From MYM to OnlyFans, online platforms have revolutionised sex work. OnlyFans: The New Sex Workers invites us into the worlds of Betty, Anaïs, Noochka, Manon and Barty, all of whom have launched their own businesses on the platform.
Aged between 19 and 28, they each tell us about their daily lives. We hear about the constant demands of their clients, which are unusual at best and violent at worst.
Their reasons for starting out are varied: to earn money, take control of their image, rebuild themselves post-trauma or escape themselves. Sometimes, they regard their decision as a mistake made amid a complicated period.
They tell us about their relationships with friends, family and clients as well as the online harassment they suffer on a daily basis. They confide in us about their relationship with their body and sexuality. We explore this subject which is, more than ever, at the heart of the new generations’ most pertinent questions.
